Girona Temps de Flors 2022

Temps de Flors in Girona is a major festival where buildings and gardens are opened and decorated with flowers in all sorts of artistic arrangements. We missed last year due to Covid, so we made a special effort to visit today, the opening day (it runs from the 7th to 15th May).

And we weren't the only ones with that idea, but that might also be because it's the first day. Girona felt full and lively with car parks full, and lots of international visitors. Bars and restaurants were heaving at lunch time, with queues in places.

One of the fabulous elements is the way seeing the flowers is mixed in with access to buildings, courtyards and gardens in the old city that are normally closed or shut off, and the change to catch glimpses of hidden old Girona.

We didn't attempt to see everything, but here are some photos of what we did see. Since the festival runs for a week, we might try again mid-week.
